For those who have been curious about programming, but are afraid of taking a programming course, this gentle introduction to Python programming will help them rid of that fear. Python is a very simple to learn, but extremely powerful script language used widely in the programming community. Students will learn about the core programming topics such as variables, expressions, strings, loops, conditional statements, functions, scopes, methods, classes, and objects by writing small text games. At the end, combining all the skills learned, they will write one of their own games.
